DAAAAAAMN!!!. It´s only for USA residents. GRRRRRR :mad:

Lantra 07-05-2001 01:31 PM

i hate it when stuff is only for the u.s.a. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Cloverfield 07-06-2001 07:48 AM

That is so unfair that it is only for US Residents. I don't really care about the major prizes like the Wave Runner and that... but I want some of those Abe Sandals and Munch on This Boxer Shorts.

I'd even be willing to buy that sort of stuff... but since I live in Australia I can't enter. Maybe I'll have to make a deal w/ a US friend to enter for me. I don't know.

I'm sure when MO is releesed,there will be a bigger amount of fans,so they will have to do competitons for all of the fans,not just U.K.

I'm sure when MO is releesed,there will be a bigger amount of fans,so they will be able to do competitons for all of the fans! Besides,you can make yer own merchandise by learning to sew and knit. :)

Hi :D
What is sobe??
And why is that just for US - Residents???
I´ve heard from sobe but i don´t know what it is exactly.
I see Munch and Abe with a bottle in the hand there is sobe.
I´ve logged me to freedom fuzzles.
But i found no informations about this i just found cool wallpapers.

Bye, TheBlueScrab

I just read on Oddworldian about the Wallpapers... how can I gain access to them if I don't live in the US??? I'd like to at least access the wallpapers. Do you just put in a fake address or something like that???

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SOBE IS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! SOBE IS THE GREATEST DRINK EVER MADE!!!

Abe Babe, I only found out about them as I was speaking to Elum via ICQ. He had just signed up and told me about the wallpapers. I asked for the URLS and he gave them to me. Here they are:
http://www.xbox.com/downloads/SoBeMunch1024.jpg http://www.xbox.com/downloads/SoBeAbeMunch1280.jpg http://www.xbox.com/downloads/SoBeAbe1280.jpg

I don't know if they are available in other resolutions, you could always check by typing in different numbers at the end of each URL.

It does suck to live in Australia, I can't enter the competitions either.

Whats with all the non-US oddworld fans?

ODDBODD 07-12-2001 12:17 PM

Most people in this forums aren't from US

Sydney 07-12-2001 12:50 PM

I've always thought it was rather odd that Oddworld's fan base is of no particular cultural or national origin. We have forum members who are Brazilian, Australian, German, American, English, etc. There also doesn't seem to be an age bracket for fans. There are people here from 10 to 30. Both males and females.

Two popular Oddworld sites (mine and Abe Babe's) are both Australian-based. It's an amusing coincedence that Abe Babe and I both run Oddworld sites, we both have the same internet provider, we both administrate Oddworld Forums and our birthdays are in the same month. SPOOKY!! :D :eek:

MrBoj 07-13-2001 08:01 PM

Aight, for those who dont know what Sobe is, it is short for South Beach, which is a beverage company stationed in Quebec and distributed from Conneticut. There are many SoBe flavors, from fruit juices to teas, and all have special herbs mixed in them. (but not one herb in particular) ;) Its really quite good.

Well, I guess SoBe aint distributed out of the U.S. or Canada.I just never realized there were so many "foreigners" here. Where ya all from?

ODDBODD 07-14-2001 09:21 AM

yeah stacks of members here are from australia. no offence to other peoples.
Sydman: you must be soulmates with abe babe oooooooooooooooooooh

Cloverfield 07-16-2001 03:34 AM

Many thanks for the URLs Sydney. :) I use that resolution so they will work great for me! :) I might be able to enter the competition using the address of our US office... I'll have to see if my boss there will mind me entering under his name.

That is really freaky Sydney... I never thought about all of those co-incedences.

OI SOMEONE DELETED MY POST!! :mad: :mad: IT WAS PROBABLY SYDNEY OR ABEBABE! I DONT BELIEVE THAT YOU TOOK ME SERIOUS FROM MY LAST POST!!

Sydney 07-16-2001 11:45 AM

I deleted it because I didn't want to embarrass you. It was funny the first time. ;)

iliodd 07-16-2001 11:46 AM

Wait a minute... SoBe is Canadian and the Love Bus Tour isn't even coming here? Shame! Shame!

Lampion 07-18-2001 01:09 AM

Although I'm not north american, I signed for the sweepstakes and I got the wallpapers' page. There's two of them, with 3 different sizes for each one.

Even if you are not american, you can sign in for the contest. You won't win, we know...

Wil 07-21-2001 04:30 PM

Anyone here willing for me to use their U.S. address? I'll pay for postage and packing!

Danny 07-21-2001 05:43 PM

i'm english, and i don't think we have Sobe.

Cloverfield 07-23-2001 02:31 AM

I don't think using a US address actually would work... I mean you could try... but some of these things require you to be "legally" a US resident.
